The very much anticipated third season of Gossip Girl has finally begun, and how hot do these kids look? I was never Dan's biggest fan, always much more inclined towards the less conventional but far more interesting Chuck Bass, but I've gotta say spray tan Dan has stepped up to the plate this season. In fact, summer in the Hamptons (aka Sunset tan and a few blonde highlights) has done them all the world of good. Apart from Little J that is, this whole rockstar thing really feels a little forced, I'm looking forward to the day they decide to transform her into Jenny 3.0.

Whilst I am feeling some satisfying 'perfect poreless skin and American girl hair' envy, I feel like S3E1 flat lined on the story front. Last season kicked off at the same locale, but was packed with witty one liners ('Chuck Bass-tard' still rings in my ears) and illicit affairs, this summer in the Hamptons feels a little lack lustre in comparison. Serena is sulky and sad, I find it even more difficult to believe Chuck and Blair are supposed to be 18 years old, and Rufus is more irritating than ever.

I have this terrible feeling GG peaked in season one, tried to revive itself in season two with that weird Lily off-shoot, and will flail through season three clutching at the Hillary Duff straw, hopefully I am wrong. Oh well at least they are pretty...
